A rival European Soapmaker tried and failed to make me look bad on my Facebook business page yesterday. She asked lots of questions about whether I had safety certificates and if my soaps contained SLS followed by aggressive '???!!!!!' Sadly for her I had an answer to everything and was simply polite to her. She was pretending to be a regular customer though and even asked me for my safety assessment which has my exact recipe in it. I politely declined as I am only legally obliged to show it to a regulatory official. No way was I giving another soaper a recipe that I worked really hard on! I went to look at her page and she clearly has no safety assessments herself, she has a ton of products which all look pretty awful. It's so sad that people feel the need to try and belittle others rather than concentrate on making their own business the best it can be (I would like to think I am the latter). It really upset me and made me sad. I felt like retaliating and doing the same to her page, but it's not worth it. It could cause a war between us that could damage my business significantly. I thought I'd just come here and rant about it instead. Sorry guys and thanks for putting up with my rant.
